"Well, that's the fun part."

Relius turned and pointed forward.

"On the ground, we get deer-like creatures called 'jeals.' Very majestic creatures."

And then he pointed to the sky, his arm slightly diagonal.

"Afterwards," he continued, with a smirk across his face, "well, look up."

Above them not-so-far in the distance were birds - big birds - that had marvelous brown feathers and an equally incredible wingspan.
 
"Alright, then. Oh, and don't worry about the population. They overpopulate every spring season, so they provide food for the village, and we keep the population stable."

He turned to the trees and thought for a moment, and then pointed forward, slightly to the right.

"This way; tread lightly, don't wanna scare 'em off."

He began to walk in the same direction he was pointing, slowly and softly.
 
"There it is," Relius whispered. He took the rifle off of his back and turned its safety off, which made a "click" sound. He stayed as still as he possibly could, breathing very slowly. Finally, he pulled the trigger, and the sound of the blaster bolt was much quieter than a normal blaster. It hit the Jeal, and he fell to the ground.

"If you hit 'em in the right place, they go without any pain. The hard part is getting two or three after the first one, because these guys have great hearing."

Relius reached out his hand, and the limp body came towards him. He then turned back to the direction of the village, and sent it that way, and laid it softly on the ground there. He could barely even see it by then. He then turned back again towards the woods. He spotted another one, and turned to Katarine.

"Do you want to give it a shot?"
 
Relius sighed and lowered his rifle. He then turned to Katarine.

"I suppose I should tell somebody at this point. The Council specifically appointed me and my master here to bond. To patch up our relationship. Our first mission hadn't gone well, so the council sent us to one of the most peaceful planets they could. We were expected to be here about a month. But I was still mad at him, and my anger turned into yelling, and that ended up sending a Force push towards him. His head hit the control panel, and the push damaged it. And then we crashed. Because of me."

His eyes were on the verge of tears, but he quickly raised his rifle again, despite being too shaky to aim well.
 
His hands kept shaking, and he took his finger down off of the trigger, yet did not touch the safety switch.

"I know they would forgive me. They forgive almost anyone. But I... I couldn't even step through those temple doors again. Not anymore. My place is here now. Because it is nowhere else."

His gaze stayed perfectly still, despite his shakiness, yet it was not on anything.
 
"I appreciate your care. I truly do. I'll... consider it. But I'm not making any promises."

Relius' shakiness had calmed, and he put his finger back on the trigger. He turned back to the second Jeal he had seen earlier, and did the same thing again. The sun then began to set behind the trees, and one of the moons came into view. The light was not yet gone, but the sky took a marvelous red, yellow, and blue mix.

"Well, would you look at that. The other two moons will come into view soon, too. You may get to see this after all."
 
"You know, it'll get dark soon. We should probably return to the village. They may already have the first Jeal ready, they're very quick at the skinning part. I should probably help them so they are ready for tonight, anyway."
 
"Thanks again. I appreciate it, truly."

Right then, the three moons began to move closer, two coming from the West, and one from the East.

"Haven't seen this in a while," Relius said, looking to the sky. Then he looked to Katarine, directly into her eyes.

"I'm just glad I finally get to share it with someone."
 
Relius watched as Katarine left, and stood, amazed. Eventually, he turned and walked back home. He had a lot to think about. But one thing he already knew for sure; he would have to thank her someday.
